ALEdesign & manufacture a range of laser engraving & scanning
systems. Our engraving systems utilise state of the art laser
technology for engraving, texturing, imaging and micromachining the
surface of cylindrical forms that are used in a variety of printing,
embossing or texturing applications. Though all our current machines
engrave onto a cylindrical surface some of the products are used in
the flat.

A variety of materials can be engraved including various plastics,
ceramics and assorted metals. The speciality of ALE systems is the very
high registration accuracy over small and very large formats. We have
machines in the field with cylinder handling capacity of 8 metre face
width and diameter of 1.2 metres. Our engraving pixel size typically
ranges from 2 microns upwards with a system resolution of 1 micron in
all axes.

ALE supply a standard range of machine sizes, other size
and configuration options are available on request. Depending on customer's
needs we supply systems where the laser is moved across the work
piece/cylinder, (moving laser),
or the work piece is moved across the laser, (moving
cylinder).

For specialist or new applications, ALE develop
bespoke systems for
customer's with specific industry production demands. For laser
texturing, micromachining, drilling or marking
applications, the laser type, wavelength and power are selected and
integrated into the bespoke system.
